Update on the Printing Pilot Project

The following communication in relation to Printing Pilot Project is being issued by MEDE to affected schools, i.e. Marsascala Primary School and Zejtun Secondary School. Of particular note is the fact that day to day printing can now be done at a printer of the educator’s choice as one of the options. The school will issue refunds upon presentation of receipts. The MUT will continue to monitor the situation closely accordingly. Educators in other schools who are being requested to use the GPP for photocopies of their teaching material are asked to inform the Union.
